Winter & Spring

The following information is for single graduate, undergraduate, EAP or UCSB Extension students seeking UCSB housing for winter and spring quarters, or spring quarter only. Students applying for housing must have a valid email address and a UCSB perm number or UCSB Extension Student ID Number.

Notes:

Winter Quarter Application Process

October 1 - January 5

Housing will be offered to eligible applicants based on a first-come, first-served basis. The first round of contract offers will be made by early November.

Available space is based on anticipated vacancies. Housing is very full for the 2018-19 academic year so it may be hard to anticipate if we will have space for Winter Quarter applicants until we get to the end of fall quarter.

Students offered contracts must complete and return the contract by the deadline sent with their contract offer.

Students not awarded housing will be placed on the waiting list. Placement on the waiting list is based upon your original application date.

Spring Quarter Application Process

January 15 - May 15

Available space is based on anticipated vacancies. Spring Quarter applicants have a fairly good chance of obtaining UCSB housing accommodations for the quarter. Contract offers will be made by mid-February.

Students offered contracts must complete and return the contract by the deadline sent with their contract offer.

If you receive an undergraduate student contract, your contract will be valid through the end of Spring Quarter only. Housing applications for Summer Sessions or the next academic year must be submitted according to the timelines set for those application processes. Graduate students have the option to extend their contracts through August 15.

If you want to cancel your contract after signing it, you'll need approval from University & Community Housing Services and if approved, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

Please check your U-Mail account directly and frequently so that you don’t miss any important messages from UCSB. It may not be reliable to forward your U-Mail to an alternate email (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) If you don’t receive a confirmation email from us within a few minutes of submitting your application, check your spam folder, and then contact our office: 805-893-4371.
